Fire Eating Speeches and Trait
orous Sentiments

The Democratic party has just now
great scheme on hand. All through
the South the old States Rights and
Secession doctrines are taught unceas-
ingly, and this year there has been an
attempt at public revival of the old
enthusiasm. With these doctrines
the Northern Democrats as usual
make sickly pretense of agreeing.
So far has this old Rebel nonsense
been carried in the South that a gar
rulous blatherskite in Georgia last
week-H. r. Jackson-drew a won
derful d-picture of the next world,
with all the Saints moving in tri-
umphal march, with Abraham Lin
coin in the background, and jeff.
Davis leading the hosts of the redeem
ed. The picture will do, but he got
Lincoln in the wrong crowd, and got
Jeff's crowd in the wrong country.
JEFF. Davis, in his reception at Ma
con, pointed his bony, ghostly finger
at the young Democrats assembled,
and warned them against the New
South" the idea of loyalty to the flag,
and urged them to cling to the doc
trines of their fathers. There is a
meaning in all this demonstration in
the year 1887, that merits more than
passing glance. The South is de-
termined to gain, in the politics of
this country, the place she held before
the war, thattof dominant power.
This gained, and worse results would
speedily follow. There has been no
repentance in the South The Rebels
are just as disloyal and just as bitter
now, as they were when they fired on
the Star of the West. at Charleston.
Loud boasts were made, at the Jeff
Davis rally at Macon last week, that
'the Confederacy was on top, this is
not Union crowd" The American
flag was torn down and trampled in
the mud, and Rebel flags were every
where to be seen. At every point,
by every means, the Southern Con-
federacy is to be pushed to the front.
In Ohio, Chairman DUNCAN has vol
unteered as the shallow tool of the
Johnnies, and last week the people Of
Cincinnati had the remarkable specta-
Gle of a traitor who was riddled with
bullets while fighting against the flag
of his country attempting to teach
the loyal people of Ohio the beauties
of Democracy. John B. Gordon, a
Major General in the Rebel Army,
and one who admitted before a Con-
gressional Committee that he was
member of the Ku-KluK Klan. and
that he had expressed willingness to
become its Commander-in-chief for
Georgia, and George W. Morgan, a
Northern Copperhead! That is the
combination Mr.. DUNCAN and his
Committee deem proper in city from
which, two years ago, some OF the
Democratic statesman took up their
line of march for the Penitentiary.
About one more Democratic admins
tration, and the South will have to be
taught a vigorous lesson-not, we
trust, by force Of arms, but by an up
rising of patriotic men in such force
as to stamp out once for all the idea
that the great North can be carried
in the pockets of a few Confederate
tobacco-eaters in Mississippi and Geor-
gia. We believe this little scheme Of
the Ohio Committee, in parading the
the Northern and Southern Copper
heads upon the same platform, will
add largely to Foraker's vote, and for
that reason we are pleased with it.
If you are in favor of reviving the
old Southern Confederacy, vote for
